2. NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
• Fertigation through drip in chilli recorded a saving of 18-20 per cent in water and 25-40 per cent
in fertilizer. Suppression of weeds more than 50 per cent was also observed due to fertigation with
an yield increase of 8 – 10%
• Soil test based fertilizer application in paddy(105:28:28 Kg/ha NPK) resulted in reduction in
cost of cultivation to an extent of Rs.12500/ha than farmers practice (185:140:55 Kg/ha NPK).
• Integrated crop management practices in cotton viz.,Deep summer ploughing +
Vermicompost @ 200 kg/ha + RDF as per soil test results + Azotobactor@2 kg/ha + PSM@2
kg/ha + Refugee crop + border crop of Jowar + Castor as trap crop for Spodoptera @ 20/acre +
stem application with imidacloprid 1: 20 ratio at 20, 40&60 DAS + foliar application of Zn (0.2
% ),Mg (2%),B(0.1%) + KNO3 three sprays from 60 DAS at 15 days interval+ neem oil + need
based chemical spraying with a spacing of 90 x 90 cm recorded 8% increased yield than farmers
practice.
• Foliar spray of micro nutrients resulted in less flower & fruit drop which resulted in increased
yields in chilli
3. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE
• Seed treatment with imidacloprid @ 8g/ kg seed, alternante sprays with chlorpyriphos 2.5ml +
dichlorvos 1.25ml, triazophos 1.5ml + dichlorvos 1.25ml, diafenthiuron 1.25g + dichlorvos
1.25ml/l, fipronil2.0 ml + dichlorvos 1.25ml /l at weekly day interval for 4-5 times reduced the
incidence of whitefly as well as spread of virus diseases to a level of 80 per cent with increased
yield to the tune of 5-6% in chilli.
• Removal of dried branches in off season, application of neem oil to trunk up to 2m height before
flowering, collection and destruction of affected fruits, spray carbaryl 3.0g /L at bud initiation and
peanut stage ( January 2nd week / February 1st week), Spray chloropyriphos 2.5ml+ dichlorovos
1.0 ml/L ( February last week / March 1st week) and ( March last week / April 1st week),
azadirachitin 1500ppm 7.0 ml/L may be mixed with insecticides in each spray effectively
managed mango fruit borer.
• IPM strategy against cotton sucking pest complex viz., seed treatment with thiamethoxam 4.0g
/ kg; intercrops greengram/ blackgram/soybean in 1:2 or cowpea, cluster bean and korra 1:3 ratio
, barrier crops maize ( 3 lines) or sorghum (4 lines) or non Bt cotton (3 lines), Stem
application at 30, 45 DAS with monocrotophos (1:4) and at 60 DAS with imidacloprid
(1:20),Yellow sticky traps @ 10 ac, spray NSKE 5% + sandovit /Teepol @ 0.5 ml/l, and need
based insecticides spray effectively managed the insect pests.
4. ASSESSMENT OF NEW MOLECULES OF INSECTICIDES/ FUNGICIDES/
WEEDICIES AGAINSTS THE PESTS AND WEEDS
• Crop rotation and intercropping with maize,/Jowar in redgram with Trichoderma viridi seed
treatment @ 8g/ kg and soil application @ 5kg /ha , Wilt resistant variety Asha
/ Maruthi,managed effectively the wilt disease.
• Balanced application of fertilizers (450 : 90 : 180 kg N, P2O5, K2O per ha) in chilli reduced the
whitening of the pod at ripening stage than farmers practice (526 : 413 : 225 kg N, P2O5, K2O per
ha) with 3.74% increased yield.
• Four number of consecutive strays at 8-10 days interval with NSKE 5% + chlorpyriphos 2.5ml
/L at flower initiation followed by 2nd spray- chlorpyriphos 2.5ml+ dichlorvos 1.0ml /L, 3rd
spray – coragen 0.3ml /L or spinosad 0.3ml /L and 4th spray - Profenophos 2.0ml/L recorded
very low incidence of both Maruca and pod fly in redgram.
• Application of pre emergence herbicides immediately after removal of paddy sheaves like
butchalor 2.0 kg or benthiocarb 2.0 kg or pendimethalin 1.5 kg. a.i./ha mixed in 20 kg of sand
and imajithapyr @ 1.5 ml/L of water at 15-20 days after sowing effectively controlled weeds
like cuscutta, cyperus, cynodon, oodha, chippera except Cladosperma, wild Occimum Sps, linga
miriyalu in rice fallow black gram.
• Bispyribac Sodium @ 80 ml/acre at 15 DAS in the nursery and at 15 DAT in the main field
controlled effectively grasses, broad leaf weeds and Cyprus in rice. An amount of Rs.4500/ha
could be saved by using herbicides for weed control
• Pre and post emergence weed control indirect seeded rice by application of oxadiargyl @ 35-
50 g/acre at 3-5 DAS and bispyribac sodium @ 80 ml/acre at 15 DAS controlled effectively
grasses, broad leaf weeds and Cyperus with a saving of Rs.7500/ha on weeding.
• Intercropping with mustard (25:2), spraying of NSKE+ spinosad (0.3ml/l) reduced the incidence
of diamond back moth in cabbage.
5. ASSESSMENT OF NEW METHODS OF PLANTING
• Comparasion of HDPS with Suraj varietyin cotton at a spacing of 70 x10 cm (Rainfed
black soils) and 60 x10 cm (Rainfed red soils) recorded a saving Rs 9300/ha in cost of
cultivation than farmers practice.
• Rice cultivation with various methods under NSP Left canal viz., direct sowing with eight
row drum seeder, mechanical transplanting resulted in higher yields and reduced cost of
cultivation than manual transplanting.
6. ASSESSMENT OF IMPROVED BREEDS OF GOAT/POULTRY
• Introduced new breeds of goats i.e., Black Bengal and Osmanabadi and poultry breeds i.e.
Gramapriya, Vanaraja, Rajasri, Turkey birds, Khakicambell duck etc.
7. ASSESSMENT OF NEW IMPROVED FODDER GRASSES
• Introduced new fodder crop varieties i.e. Perennial Fodder Sorghum Co FS 29, Anjan grass,
Super Napier etc.
8. ASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCE OF DRUDGERY REDUCTION IMPLEMENTS
• Assessed the performance of cycle weeder, easy planter, mango harvester, finger guard for
harvesting bhendi, cotton picking bags, fodder cutting gloves etc.
9. ASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCE OF ALTERNATE CROPS TO VEGETABLES
• Marigold cultivation is found to be very economical. The crop can be grown with limited use
of plant protection chemicals unlike vegetable crops. The B:C ratio was recorded as 2.27:1 in
marigold and 1.84:1 in vegetables.
• Demonstration on performance of Dolichos bean as alternate vegetable crop to cauliflower
was established.
10. RESOURCE CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGIES
• Deep ploughing and Conservation furrow in redgram mainly useful in harvesting of excess
rainfall during crop growth and it will also keeps the soil moist for longer period and
recorded higher grain yields.
• Rapid multiplication of turmeric using single bud rhizome through portray rising reduced the
seed rhizome requirement by 2.5 times.
